ACQUISITIONS | ACQUISITIONS Raptor Scientific – On July 31, 2024, the Company acquired all the outstanding stock of Raptor Scientific for approximately $647 million in cash. The acquisition was financed through existing cash on hand. Raptor Scientific is a leading global manufacturer of complex test and measurement solutions primarily serving the aerospace and defense end markets. Its products are highly engineered, proprietary components with significant aftermarket content and a strong presence across major aerospace and defense platforms. The operating results of Raptor Scientific are included within TransDigm's Airframe segment. As of September 30, 2024, the measurement period (not to exceed one year) is open; therefore, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed related to the acquisition of Raptor Scientific are subject to adjustment until the end of the respective measurement period. The Company accounted for the acquisition of Raptor Scientific using the acquisition method of accounting and included the results of operations of the acquisition in its consolidated financial statements from the effective date of the acquisition. The purchase price was allocated to identifiable assets and liabilities based on information available at the date of acquisition. The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary and will likely change in future periods, perhaps materially, as fair value estimates of the assets acquired, particularly intangible assets and liabilities assumed are finalized. Pro forma net sales and results of operations for the acquisition, had it occurred at the beginning of the fiscal years ended September 30, 2024 or September 30, 2023 are not material and, accordingly, are not provided. The allocation of the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition of Raptor Scientific as of the July 31, 2024 acquisition date is summarized in the table below (in millions):

CPI's Electron Device Business – On June 6, 2024, the Company acquired all the outstanding stock of the Electron Device Business of Communications & Power Industries (“CPI's Electron Device Business”) for approximately $1,385 million in cash. The acquisition was financed through existing cash on hand, inclusive of a portion of the cash proceeds from the new long-term debt issued during the first quarter of fiscal 2024 (refer to Note 10, “Debt,” for further disclosure of the aforementioned debt issuances). CPI’s Electron Device Business is a leading global manufacturer of electronic components and subsystems primarily serving the aerospace and defense market. Its products are highly engineered, proprietary components with significant aftermarket content and a strong presence across major aerospace and defense platforms. The operating results of CPI’s Electron Device Business are included within TransDigm's Power & Control segment. As of September 30, 2024, the measurement period (not to exceed one year) is open; therefore, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed related to the acquisition of CPI's Electron Device Business are subject to adjustment until the end of the respective measurement period, including those related to deferred taxes and income taxes. The Company accounted for the acquisition of CPI's Electron Device Business using the acquisition method of accounting and a third-party valuation appraisal and included the results of operations of the acquisition in its consolidated financial statements from the effective date of the acquisition. The total purchase price was allocated to identifiable assets and liabilities based upon the respective fair value at the date of acquisition. The Company utilized both the cost and market approaches to value property, plant and equipment, which consider external transactions and other comparable transactions, estimated replacement and reproduction costs, and estimated useful lives and consideration for physical, functional and economic obsolescence. The fair values of acquired intangibles are determined based on an income approach, using estimates and assumptions that are deemed reasonable by the Company. Certain assumptions include the discount rates and other assumptions that form the basis of the forecasted results of the acquired business including revenue, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), growth rates, royalty rates and technology obsolescence rates. These assumptions are forward looking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions. Pro forma net sales and results of operations for the acquisition, had it occurred at the beginning of the fiscal years ended September 30, 2024 or September 30, 2023 are not material and, accordingly, are not provided. The allocation of the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition of CPI's Electron Device Business as of the June 6, 2024 acquisition date is summarized in the table below (in millions):

(1)Of the approximately $280 million of goodwill recognized for the acquisition, the Company expects that approximately $222 million will be deductible for tax purposes. Of the approximately $101 million of other intangible assets recognized for the acquisition, the Company expects that approximately $86 million will be deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill and intangible assets are expected to be deductible over 15 years. (2)Measurement period adjustments primarily related to the adjustments in the fair values of the acquired property, plant and equipment and other intangible assets from the third-party valuation. A substantial portion of the measurement period adjustments to property, plant and equipment relates to the fair value of the transonic wind tunnel. The offset to the measurement period adjustments was to goodwill. The fiscal 2024 acquisitions of Raptor Scientific, CPI's Electron Device Business, SEI and FPT and fiscal 2023 acquisition of Calspan completed by the Company strengthen and expand the Company’s position to design, produce and supply highly engineered proprietary aerospace components in niche markets with significant aftermarket content and provide opportunities to create value through the application of our three core value-driven operating strategy (obtaining profitable new business, continually improving our cost structure, and providing highly engineered value-added products to customers). The purchase prices paid reflect the current EBITDA As Defined and cash flows, as well as the future EBITDA As Defined and cash flows expected to be generated by the businesses, which are driven in most cases by the recurring aftermarket consumption over the life of a particular aircraft, estimated to be approximately 25 to 30 years. Acquisition transaction-related expenses in fiscal 2024, 2023 and 2022 totaled approximately $33 million, $6 million and $4 million, respectively. These costs are included in selling and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income. Extant Aerospace Acquisitions – For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, the Company's Extant Aerospace subsidiary, which is included within TransDigm’s Power & Control segment, completed a series of acquisitions of substantially all of the assets and technical data rights of certain product lines (collectively, referred to herein as the “Extant Aerospace product line acquisitions”), each meeting the definition of a business, for a total purchase price of $86 million. The Company accounted for the acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting and included the results of operations of the acquisitions in its consolidated financial statements from the effective date of each acquisition. The allocation of the purchase price remains preliminary and will likely change, though not materially, in future periods up to the expiration of the respective one year measurement period as fair value estimates of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are finalized. The Company expects that all of the approximately $39 million of goodwill and $22 million of other intangible assets recognized for the acquisitions will be deductible for tax purposes over 15 years. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, the Company's Extant Aerospace subsidiary, completed a series of acquisitions of substantially all of the assets and technical data rights of certain product lines, each meeting the definition of a business, for a total purchase price of $24 million.

All of the approximately $12 million of goodwill and $6 million of other intangible assets recognized for the acquisitions is deductible for tax purposes over 15 years. Pro forma net sales and results of operations for the Extant Aerospace product line acquisitions, had they occurred at the beginning of the fiscal years ended September 30, 2024, September 30, 2023 or September 30, 2022 are not material and, accordingly, are not provided.
